00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Whoever is not well mannered
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			in his relationship with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will patch him up.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			Will deal with him under the earth.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			My brothers and my sisters,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			when speaking about others,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			when speaking about others,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			There might be times, my brothers and my
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			sisters, where we have to say something
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			because debunking,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			rebuking
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			has been made permissible in 6 cases.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			As Imam An Nawawi
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			he mentions
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			in his Riyadu salihin:
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			But my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			what I want to really speak about in
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			this episode is
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			being fair and just
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			in that which we say about others,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			no matter who it is.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			Being fair and just
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			is something that is a must
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			upon every single individual
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			when speaking about whoever it might be
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			and in every single situation
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			So you're thinking to yourself
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			even the Kuffar?
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Yes, my brothers and my sisters, even the
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36
			Kuffar.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			For Dayal ibn Ayab,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			The great Tabiai said,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			And by Allah,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			It is not lawful for you to oppress
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			a pig.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			It is not lawful for you to oppress
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			and bring harm to a pig.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Beirei Haqin without right.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			If this is a pig, my brothers and
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			mothers, it's an animal. How about a human
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			being?
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			And yes my brother is a Muslim even
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			if the guy is a kafir.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			Look what Ibn Taymah said
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			and tell the lima
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			It is not lawful for you
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			to oppress anyone even if that individual is
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28
			a disbeliever.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			And then he recited a statement of Allah
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			Azzawajal when he said
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			Do not let the hate that you have
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			in your heart entice you
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			to oppressing them.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			But rather be fair and just, indeed, this
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			is more closer to a Taqar.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			So if we said that you can't oppress
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			a kafir,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			then my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			that which is foremost is that you can't
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			oppress a Muslim,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			even if that person is an innovator.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			Whether it is
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			you're speaking about
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			someone who you disagree with.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			If you are a Salafi and you disagree
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			with a Brelvi,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			you cannot say about that Brelvi,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			that which isn't a reality.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			And the same applies the Brylvi cannot say
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			about the Diobandi and the Diobandi can't say
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			about the Brylvi
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			that which has no
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			reality or no truth to it.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			If you have something against the Ekhwani,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			you're not allowed to oppress that Ikhwani.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			You are not allowed to say about him
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			that which isn't a reality.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			This is the The
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			religion of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:53
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			Ratima rhamallahu ta'ala he said
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			When speaking about others,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			it must be done with
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			justice
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			and also with knowledge,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			not with ignorance and also oppression.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			And he says that this is the way
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			of the people of innovation.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			If somebody, my brothers and my sisters is
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			insulting like Harafi'li,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			he's insulting
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			and I'm bringing these examples
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			so we realize
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			the severity of the matter.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			He's insulting the companion Mu'awiya radiAllahu anhu.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			It is not lawful for you to say
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			about him or to pin up against him
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			that he insults Abu Bakr and Umar or
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			Aisha Radiallahu Ta'ala Anha.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			When the reality is he doesn't.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			If someone is saying
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			that Uzair
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			is the son of Allah, you can't say
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			about him that he also claims
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			that Jesus or Isa is the son of
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			Allah azza wa jal.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			Fairness and justice
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			with whatever we say.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			It is not lawful for one to
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			boycott his brother for more than 3 days.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			And the best of them
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			is the one who starts
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			with the salaam.
